So, speaking about Humble....

Vinbert :
Interesting. Thinking that is going to be hard to enforce. Wondering if there are any federal laws about this.

Vinbert :
That's good!

RajunCajun :
Actually, according to the discussion I was witnessing, a state law just took effect in September, prohibiting citys and towns from doing this, unless there is a safety violation involved. I'll see if I can find it again.
I mean, I don't live in Humble, don't think I'd ever be in that situation, but doesn't it set a precedent that we won't like down the road?
Like, why would the city be able to decree, who the homeowner has living in their house?
Seems like a slippery slope to me.

RajunCajun :
And I am copy/pasting what was said in the discussion about said article on that site that shall not be named.
"Breaking the law !!!
As of September 1, 2025, a new Texas law (Senate Bill 1567, amending the Local Government Code) prohibits cities from enforcing zoning rules that limit the number of people in a home based on age, familial status, or relationships, effectively banning local restrictions on unrelated residents. Cities may still impose safety-based occupancy limits (e.g., building/fire codes).
Key Details Regarding Household Limits in Texas:
New Restrictions on Cities (SB 1567): Effective Sept 1, 2025, Texas home-rule cities can no longer use zoning to limit the number of unrelated people living together in a single-family home.
Safety Standards Allowed: While cities cannot restrict based on family status, they can still enforce occupancy limits based on health and safety standards, such as building or fire codes."

Meh, doesn't affect us at all

ParksideRes :
Yeah, I get that. But, I have to look at it as a precedent being set.

Vinbert : I see that. But it is unusual to house more than 4 unrelated adults on one home and I see the issues they're battling.

I had a coworker who lived in that newer neighborhood next to Kenswick. Every room was rented out to different people, she lived in the garage.
